This is a another superb comedy romance classic starring Shirley MacClaine and Dean Martin Hopefully dvd distributors will have the decency to release another 60's MacClaine classic"Please Come Home",it would be very beneficial for both them and us!!!

a very fun flick--- where Dino gets to be Dino, and Shirley Mac
is simply adoreable. but what other word can you use for Shirley? great pacing, with good twists & turns ---- not to mention Shirley's curves.

ALL IN A NIGHT'S WORK pairs up Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine for an hilarious comedy full of mistaken identities, wrong conclusions, blackmail and counter-blackmail. It's a rare treat.

When a mysterious half-naked girl is seen running from a Palm Beach hotel room containing the deceased publishing tycoon Colonel Ryder, an overzealous private investigator tracks her all the way back to New York. It turns out that she is Katie Robbins (Shirley MacLaine), an employee of Ryder's research department. Ryder's nephew Paul (Dean Martin), the new president of the company, is assigned the task of discovering Katie's true "motives".

MacLaine and Martin have a brilliant comic chemistry in this bubbly, fast-paced romantic comedy. They had previously co-starred in "Artists and Models" (1955), "Some Came Running" (1958), "Career" (1959"), and "Ocean's Eleven" in 1960 (with "What a Way to Go!" as their follow-up to this movie in 1964).

Shirley MacLaine's delicious wardrobe was designed by Edith Head, with an underrated, jazzy score composed by Andre Previn. The strong ensemble cast includes Gale Gordon (aka Mr Mooney from "The Lucy Show"), Charlie Ruggles, Mabel Albertson, Jerome Cowan, Cliff Robertson, Norma Crane and Jack Weston.

The DVD features a sharp anamorphic print with a mono soundtrack and optional English subtitles. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).

This is a wonderfully charming romantic comedy, that has a Cinderella-like feel to it, as the worker in research (heroine) gets the owner of the company in the end (hero). This is the type of movie that can be watched over and over again without losing its flair. I love the twists in this one, and really funny misunderstandings, and the great chemistry between the two leads. This is a very cute movie that is a must have for any romance and comedy lovers...a keeper

This is a fast paced comedy. There are no dull moments and the movie zips along. This is a movie I can and have watched over and over. In all the viewings I have noticed an interesting scene. In the middle of the movie Shirley and Marge are walking through the front doors of the Ryder bldg and heading toward the elevators. A man walks by, bumps into and maybe grabs a little of Marge's rear. That had to be a prank by the guy. Maybe he was the producer or director. The reaction of Marge is priceless.

One of my favorite lines is from the picture on the DVD cover(upper left). Dean states, "I was helping her into her coat." Cliff responds, "What was she doing? Crawling into it?"

Love Dean's movies. This one especially. Like Shirley McLaine too.
I would recommend this movie to any Dean Fan.
I was very satisfied with this purchase.

This movie was really cute and fun. They don't make movies like this any more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this superb movie with Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine, it was lots of fun, fast paced and well written. Agree the chemistry and interaction was great, it was a terrific 60s movie, well worth watching, definitely a winner.

This film makes me laugh hard whenever I watch it. Shirley's assertiveness and Dino's macho charms seem to spark fireworks throughout the comedy. Jack Weston is perfect in the part of the detective and Cliff Robertson is a hilarious choice for a veterinarian. Shirley and Dino rank up at the top of my list of most sexy screen couples along with Bogart and Bacall or Gable and Lombard. Many a junior high afternoon was spent watching it over to see if 'all' of Shirley might be showing under her towel.

This movie is absolutely adorable. Dean is always wonderful to watch and he is perfect as the rich playboy. Shirley Maclaine is wonderful to watch as well. All in all, it is a great movie to watch with several recognizable supporting cast members.
